Set in the Swiss Alps, the 1974 anime series “Heidi, Girl of the Alps” follows a young girl named Heidi as she grows up. Many viewers have dreamed of experiencing Heidi's world, from her hay bed and the natural landscapes depicted in the series to the delicious melted cheese served during its dining scenes.
At this facility inspired by the story, visitors can take in beautiful natural scenery and seasonal flowers throughout the year. The grounds feature a 13-foot diorama depicting the view from Dörfli village to Frankfurt, as well as recreations of Heidi's hay bed and the mountain cabin on the Alm. The restaurant also serves cheese fondue made with Swiss cheese, while strawberry and cherry picking are available in season.
In 2014, the hot spring facility Spa & Restaurant Hotel Clara-kan opened on the grounds. It has 11 guest rooms, including Western-style rooms furnished with antiques and inspired by the Sesemann family mansion, as well as Japanese-style rooms where guests can relax with large stuffed toys of Yuki and Josef. Costumes of Heidi, Peter, and Clara are also available for children to borrow, allowing them to fully immerse themselves in the story during their stay.
